Pinephone Mainboard Replacement Issues
#1
Hello All,

My 3gb main board arrived and I was able to replace my old UBports edition board after some trouble. However after powering on, the OSes I use don't seem to work properly:
PostmarketOS gives  a boot screen but doesn't go any further than that, and if the device is plugged in it boot loops.
Mobian powers off immediately if charger disconnects, battery is stuck on 60% but I don't think the battery is actually detected in Mobian. Also WiFi and torch don't work (cameras do).
The only physical damage was to the shroud because I didn't see the hidden screw on the top right of the phone.

Any idea what went wrong?
